I think that the real majority of Americans see the real benefits to them in the Affordable Care Act, AKA: Obamacare.

That said, the debacle of the HHS's exchange website is inexcusable. There were many logical ways that this could have been handled, e.g.; phased in enrollment -- surname starting with 'A' day one, 'B' day two, ad infinitum. HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius should resign as she seems not to be up to the task.

The other part of the story is that a lot of people in the healthcare delivery and products, including big pharma, have gotten too fat making the cost of healthcare so high -- they are squealing like stuck pigs along with their stockholders. Hence, the big protest and now the stink of the political corruption as you see currently.

A lot of them cannot afford it and want themselves or their employees to have to use the "Federal Safety Net" extended to life-threatening emergency care that all federal payment hospital recipients (read: Medicaid and Medicare payments) are required to render by federal regulations and law.
